KILLED by scandal.

CINCINNATI, March 2.--Miss Mamie
Frances KeclS, beautiful young girl,
about seventeen years old, died here
last night. A short time ago sensa-
tional article in a daily paper cast in
situations against her. She took the
affair to heart and prostrated with
brain fever, OF which she died. The
whole story was based on her visits to
the leading photograph gallery Of the
city, which she did always with the
knowledge and consent of her mother,
and at proper hours, A mlschief-
maker self-censtituted detective,
watched her going there and gave a
colored story to reporter, who made
sensation of it. The tongue of scan
dal became busy. Her lover, to whom
she was engaged, upbraided her This
was more than she could stand. Her
grief and indignation set her brain on
fire and for days and days she lay
alternately moaning and fasing tlll
death came. She was an only daugh-
ter in refined family, and no friend
nor acquaintance of the girl has a
doubt Of her purity, and never till
this busy body that carried the story
to the papers bounded her, was there q
shadow Of a suspicion against her life,

The law passed by the last LegisIa
ture, granting prisoners the privilege
of testifying in their own behalf, was
put in practical operation for the first
time, in this parish, during the last
term of the District Court. A hard.
ened criminal, after the State had
made out a clear case of attempted
outrage, against him, took the stand
in his own behalf, and abused the
privilege given him under the new law,
to cast insinuations with the view of
blackening the character of one Of the
most respected ladies of the land. His
testimony was so disgusting, and his
falsehood so palpable, that every man
present, at once saw the fallacy of the
new departure IN this respect. The
new law is nothing more than offering
a premium for perjury, and as no good
can come out of it, it should be re-
pealed. The voluntary statement of
a prisoner, as allowed under the old
law, was just as good for the accused
as the present system, and it allowed
the criminal to lie little in hls own
behalf, without committing perjury.

Editor Lake Charles Echo:
Hoping to interest you with few
lines from this section of the parish, |
would say that the past winter was the
mildest, and most favorable to the
general interest Of the. people Of this
section, than any previous season we
can call to mind at present. The storm
having destroyed large proportion
of the corn and cotton crop of last
year, it was thought by many, that
this prove an unusually hard year for
the farmer, but in the dispensatIon of
Providence, their remnant will prove
suficiency for the most of them.
Grass is good now, and stock is get
ting fatter every day. Health is a
blessing we can claim for this people,
and our respected N. d. had the pleas
ure of attending the Mardi Gras fes-
tivities in the Crescent City.
We are glad to note another large
house for dry goods, groceries and
general merchandise in process of erec-
tion in Sugartown, by our clever friend
Mr.. Edward Escoubas. As he is gen
orally known and acknowledged to be
man of fair dealing, we feel conf
dent he will share largely in the Su-
gartown trade.
Farmers are makingextensiVe prepa-
rations for another crop, many have
planted and some have corn growing,
and everything is encouraging for this
people. Our section will compare fa-
vorabIy with others for honesty, en-
ergy, thrift and enterprise.

THE following horrible tale comes
from Vieksburg, and should serve as
a warning to parents who are negligent
in the care of children; A horrible ac-
cident took place on the plantation of
Mr.. G, w, Ferguson, eight miles east Of
here in this county, last Monday. Two
children ofSam Lawson, colored, aged
respectively s months aud 8 years,
were left to their own devices while
their parents went to church. The
house caught fire, and when the parents
returned to their home it was in ashes
and the infants were buried beneath
its ruins. Only few shreds of their
little bodies remain, Lawson lost
nearly everything he possessed,

There is class of people in this
country who get up at o'clock in the
morning and who never go to bed un-
der 10 or IL o'clock at night; who
work without ceasing the whole Of
that time, and receive no other emolu-
ment than food and the plainest cloth
ing. They understand something Of
every branch of economy and labor,
from finance to cooking though har-
rassed by hundred responsibilities,
though driven and worried, Though
reproached and looked down upon,
they never revolt, and they cannot
organize for their own protection. Not
even sickness releases them from their
posts. No sacrifice is deemed too
great for them to make, and no in
competency in any branch of their
work is excused. No essays or books
of poems are written in tribute to their
steadfastness. They die in the har-
ness and are supplanted as quickly as
may be. These are the housekeeping
wives Of the laboring men.

The prospects arc very fayoFabble
for the opening of great industry in
Wakulla county, in this State. About
two months ago Professors Kost, Low
rie and Green, representing a North.
ern syndicate, were in the county ex-
aiming the phosphate deposits, which
have long been known to exist there
by many Floridians. The report Of
these geologists was so encouraging
and samples so satisfactory that an
agent of the syndicate has been dis
patched to Wakulla to purchase the
lands upon which the phosphate beds
exist. 1t is said that papers have been
perfected on ten thousand acres and
FIVE thousand acres more have been
secured ready for the papers. The
next thing is the necessary machinery
and workmen for preparing the phos-
phate for commerce. The layer is
said to extend over thousands Of acres
and to average eighteen inches thick
and to lie from one to four feet under
the surface. 1t is found in large guam
titles from Smith Creek to the Ock-
lockonee Bay, and from the Ockloc-
konee river to the Sopchoppy (Sci-
piopco), covering an area of about
twenty-five miles square.

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1887-11-18

THE following is an extract from de-
cision recently rendered by Montreal
Judge: 1t has come to be Well-estab-
hshed doctrine that proceedings before a
court of justice truly and honestly re-
ported, although occasionally proving in
furious to individuals, are to be held
privileged. Public policy and public
convent ence are broadening rather than
restricting the rule. In the absence of
malice, courts are weary of putting legal
handouts upon publishers of newspapers
when reporting judicial proceedings.
The learned judge further held that this
rule applied to condensed reports also,
and, in the present instance, the report
was interesting for the profession and for
the public.

The Portuguese Ladies' Association
held their first annual meeting at the
residence of the President, Mrs Cana
varro, Monday evening. The attendance
of members was unusually large, as all
were eager to learn the satisfactory pro-
gress made since the starting of the as
ISOLATION, year ago.
The first business attended was the re-
port of the Treasurer, by which it was
shown that the membership, started
with five ladies, had grown up to I6O,
which had produce from monthly fees of
$411 40, with about 800 now due Also
donations had been received of 1925 so,
from different sources, and 1912 48 from
the Government. Adding to this the
net proceeds of the fair held on the goth
OF October last, alter paying all the run
ming expenses of the Association, there
is now credit of 1886 AZ in the bank
for the Association to begin it's new
year with.
The result was received with loud APP
plause, as it will enable the Association
to do a greater amount of good du. ing
the next term.
The next business was the election of
officers for the forthcoming year. Mrs.
A. de Souza Canavarro was unanimously
reelected President, whilst Mrs. A
Perry was elected Vice President, Mrs.
nj. Cunha, Secretary, and A Marques,
Treasurer. Mesdames III. Johnson,
